What You Need to Know About Roofing Contractors & Roof Replacements

Doing roof replacements and roof repair in Alpharetta GA is a highly specialized trade. It’s something that you can’t really do yourself, due to the level of expertise, wide choice of roofing materials, and the general safety requirements of the job. If you really want to be proud of renos in your home, consider painting a room, building a bookcase, or installing a new faucet—and leave the roof to Duffy Roof, the roofing experts!

Even though we’re the experts, there is still plenty for the homeowner to learn about roofing. Even if your house’s roof was last done thirty years ago, roofing practices have changed over the years.

Even something as simple as placement of the refuse container can be a concern for the homeowner. Often many people are concerned about the looks and aesthetics of their house. They may be worried about damage to driveways or grass. So, the answer is, we don’t recommend placing the container in the driveway, as the pressure may cause damage to the concrete or the paving. Some trucks are built for this purpose, so the refuse is stored out-of-sight.

While Georgia generally has nice weather year round, we still do get inclement weather. You may be wondering what to do if a roofing job has begun and it starts raining? We always cover the roofing project with plastic covers or tarpaulins. It’s important that the interior of your house is still protected, even if all the old shingles have been stripped off. You also want to be assured that the roof is checked, even if there are several rainy days in the week, or if there are heavy winds.

Many people are also concerned that their favorite roofing company is local. Yes, Duffy Roof serves all parts of Atlanta, Alpharetta, Roswell, St Johns Creek, Duluth, and Cumming. If you don’t see your city on the list and can’t find a good roofer in the area, please give us a call anyway.

When you’re having a roof replacement done you may want to know how long the warranty will last. The typical warranty on basic roofing materials is about 25 years. While this may seem like a long time, you may consider spending a bit more and getting materials that last over 30+ years, as time sure does go by fast.

Many people are worried that the plywood under their shingles is rotting, but are frightened about the cost. Don’t be, as it’s not as bad as you think. Generally, we charge an amount based on each plywood sheet, plus labor. It can be added to the cost of your estimate, but if it doesn’t need to be done we’ll inform you, and you’ll be happy your final invoice is less.
